RC3 is out

a knife with a curved blade.

(or rsync -avz ftp.linux.activestate.com::perl-5.8.x perl-5.8.x)
and in a while the public

The randomised hashes are on. Therefore please unleash your code base
on this, or maybe it's vice versa. Since we are talking randomised
here, run the tests a few times...
Also, I'm still wary of the new module PKI signature hooks in CPAN.pm,
please test that carefully too (like for example how does it look and
feel when installed to a box with no Perl, or to a box with no gpg).
I'm very eager to get the 5.8.1 final out as soon as possible, not that
this comes as a big surprise to anyone.
